Key Takeaways

“Always continue producing and improving! Don’t stop, even when you get paid a lot, because people may forget you!”

Alejandro and Juan share that nobody in family thought art could be the way of earning money, so Juan studied and became a certified pharmacist. Alejandro was the one who went to graphic design school where he learned you can actually make living by making art

They developed their skills by trying and experimenting. They learned on the go. They just used whatever they had and used client work and personal projects to explore and improve

Both, Alejandro and Juan say that running a studio requires a lot of “boring” business work – invoices, proposals, bills, taxes, etc. Illustration studio is like any other business, it’s not only art
